The table below contains a list of cases handled by our customs law firm. The “noticed amount” column identifies the initial dollar amount demanded for payment made by customs and the “mitigated amount” column identifies the reduced dollar penalty or damage amount we were able to obtain once we filed a petition for remission or mitigation.
As you can see, we have often been able successfully obtain a $0 penalty, which is extraordinary relief, and when not possible, we are still able to obtain substantial reductions that save clients money.
If you are looking for our results in customs currency seizure cases that page is viewable here.
The facts and circumstances of your customs penalty or liquidated damages case may differ from the facts and circumstances of these cases. The results discussed are not necessarily representative of the range of possible results for any particular case. Each case is different and must be evaluated and handled on its own merit.
